Juan Manuel Zaragoza
Juan Manuel is a social worker who lives in Ocotepec, a very traditional and culturally rich village in Cuernavaca.
He is enthralled with understanding and practicing social relationships oriented to a better quality of life. For the last few years he has focused on learning and disseminating participative research-action based on people’s involvement on the resolution of problems that affect their lives. This discipline has led him to learning and practicing “social illusionism”, a form of social intervention that intends to transcend assumptions or utopia, moving from what is possible to the impossible, using creativity, opportunity, affection, and closeness-estrangement.
In the course of this participatory experience, he learned to cultivate a variety of mushrooms (casahuates) and he organized training in farming for his neighbors.
He has been married to Judith Shevelev for 10 years. She works in Cuernavaca as a professor for a university from Minneapolis, USA. Their daughter Jessica, who is 21 years old, studies photography in the mornings, and works as a waitress in a vegetarian restaurant in the afternoons.
